French school of the XIX century. "Lion. Sculpture in chiseled bronze on wooden base carved and gilded period. Some flaws in the pedestal. Measurements: 12 x 26 x 18 cm (lion); 7 x 29 x 14 cm (pedestal). Lion made of chiseled bronze in resting position. The robust body is worked taking care of the right anatomy, giving an idea of classical proportion, according to the Renaissance period in which it is inspired. His mane is carved in long and dense chisels that frame the head. The lion is an emblem of power in heraldry and in the iconography of medieval bestiaries. Already in Greco-Roman times, seated lions symbolized victories over enemy peoples, such as the marble lion of the ancient Greek city of Cnidus. They were also defensive effigies of cities and temples. In Christian times, the lion also symbolizes the evangelist St. Mark, although in that case it is usually represented winged.
